THREE young scientists are jetting off to Los Angeles, California, next week to take part in an international science fair.
The winners of the FortisTCI National Science and Technology Fair are heading to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) from May 14 to May 19.
This Sunday (May 14) Holy Family Academy students Declan Beresford, Bridgit Tyson and Albert Dayupay will be beginning the one-week fact finding trip sponsored by FortisTCI.
They will be joined by their teacher Elizabeth Munoz, education officer from the Ministry of Education, David Bowen, FortisTCI senior human resource officer Robyn Hinds and junior corporate communications officer Kayla Lightbourne.
The Intel ISEF is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition and although the TCI students will not compete during the event, they will attend as observers, sitting in on symposiums and sessions and taking in all the excitement that comes with showcasing projects on an international stage.
During this trip, FortisTCI representatives will also meet with ISEF officials in preparation for next year’s event, when the Turks and Caicos Islands will officially participate.
The winners of the 2018 FortisTCI Science Fair will submit a project to compete in this prestigious, global event that attracts the brightest and best young innovators.
